Christopher Collins

Known in the bay area for his one-of-a-kind ensembles, Christopher Collins is a perfect blend of raw talent, sincere charisma and ambitious detail, which is found in every one of his pieces. Many will recognize him from the show Project Runway, where Tim Gunn described Christopher as the “perfect embodiment of all that is good in American Design.” His fabulous creations are increasing rapidly in popularity and when asked about his design philosophy, Christopher Collins simply answers with a smile, “To make someone feel beautiful, fresh, natural and new.”

“Epi Center MedSpa has the expertise and experience that will help anyone and everyone. Epi Center took the time and outlined a very detailed custom plan for me and my skin, making sure I would get the results I was looking for. Healthy skin is my goal and Epi Center taught me so much about my skin and what to do in order to properly take care of it. The staff is always friendly and the professionals are just that-professional. Results are what keep bringing me back and trusting them fully with my skin.”

Karen Caldwell

In 2011, Karen Caldwell launched her own label, Karen Caldwell Design. The line, targeting better boutiques and specialty department stores, is characterized by bold colors, retro-Hollywood-influenced silhouettes, and styles that won’t be lost in a crowd. Her designs have been seen on the Red Carpet at the Emmy’s and are staples pieces for many of San Francisco’s extravagant galas.

“My favorite thing about Epi Center is of course, the products and skin services. However once you walk into its elegant and serene ambiance, you feel just better being in the Spa. My favorite services are the ones which pertain to the amazing facials and also the DermaSweep Microdermabrasion. My face feels so soft afterwards! My favorite product is the Epi Center line of skin creams. Especially the Retin-A cream. I was born and raised in LA, and loved the beach for years, but unfortunately I have darkened pigment problems because of my love for the sun. You cannot lose by taking care of what was given to you, your skin. Keep it healthy. Epi Center gives you the perfect guidance and advice at doing that. If you can just keep your skin looking fresh and healthy, no matter what your age, you will always look fabulous!”

“Relaxation is what I aim to achieve whenever I go to Epi Center MedSpa. The environment is so warm and inviting yet private and serene. I really enjoy my facials with the aestheticians- they really do know how to make a person feel and look good. I also love the vitamin B injections. Whenever I feel a cold coming on or if it has been a long day and I need a little energy boost, I know exactly where to get it from. Thanks Epi Center!”

“I chose Epi Center MedSpa because I love how they focus on rejuvenating not just the face or body, but your overall health. They are also very giving and philanthropic and I see their involvement with many organizations and causes. Every time I go to an appointment, I learn about something new and leave feeling great and appreciated. Along with the great services, the customer service is exceptional, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back. The facility itself is exquisite-with soothing music, great reading material, delicious beverages and spotless rooms. I love their signature facials and am a proud owner of the Clarisonic, which is like a little piece of Epi and does its part in keeping my skin healthy in between treatments. I would recommend Epi Center to everyone-just go in for a consultation and you will be extremely impressed.”

When I’m in performances I end up applying thick stage makeup 2-4 times a day. Usually my skin ends up feeling dry, red and tortured but with the Epi Center Medspa’s face products my face comes out feeling even more hydrated and smooth than before the rigorous make up routine started. It keeps me feeling like a star.”
